TESCO VALUE TEASPOONS 5PCE - £0.75Stainless steel 18/0 Materials, Better Design[tesco.scene7.com image 170x170]5 for £0.75 is US .25 a piece.As expensive as the UK is, some things are bizarrely super-cheap. You can go to a Boots and pick up a pack (10? 16? 20? pills) of generic paracetamol (acetaminophen) for like 19p. That's a fraction of what it would cost even at Target in the U.S.

19p? Outrageous! Our local corner shop has 16 packs of ibuprofen for 16p, paracetamol 16s is 15p and co-codamol (paracetamol&codeine) is £1.87 in Boots. I have no idea why basic pain relief is so expensive in the US, last time I was on holiday there I bought some Advil and couldn't believe how much you guys paid for plain old ibuprofen.

As for the teaspoons, it's a gateway utensil. Start off with just a few teaspoons here and there and before you know it you're in deep with dessert spoons then its just a short leap from there to full blown ladles.

Don't believe me? Imagine being stabbed to death with a knife. Bad? Now, imagine a spoon.

Detective 1: I think he was stabbed to death repeatedly with a spoon.Detective 2: What makes you say that?Detective 1: Because I don't think there's terminal disease that makes the sufferer break out in dozens of little smiles.
